The Chorus #101: The Perseverance Episode, Or When Noonoo Means Yes

We return after an unintended break due to day jobs and holidays and illness and things. The entire Olympic Games happened since we last chatted, and so did a second run for Bruce's musical Actress, which we discuss. Also noted: Adam Sandler's superior brand of celebrity; how gross Parktown Prawns are; that idiots get way too many platforms and that a little kindness goes a long way.

The Chorus #100 - The Milestone Episode, Or A Short History Of Talking About Culture

Century up! Waves coffee cup at the grandstand; points to heaven like an Argentinean footballer. What started as a little bit of fun and an excuse for two friends to drink coffee and whiskey, play guitars and talk about music, books, theatre, film and television is still a little bit of fun and an excuse for two friends to drink coffee and whiskey, play guitars and talk about music, books, theatre, film and television. Plus a first live outing for a new original song.
